Our Tokubetsu Honjozo is a lighter-bodied sake to which the sake master adds a small amount of alcohol prior to the filtering stage. This technique brings out the clean and savoury flavours elicited through the brewing process. Offering a longer and more robust finish, it perfectly complements a multi-course dinner.

Properties
A delicate bouquet and light notes of lemon, lime and straw. After a lively first impression, you will notice this sake’s refreshing, soft citrus flavours with a sweet, well-balanced finish.

15/9/2023. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear very pale yellow with no head. Aroma of citrus, rice water, caramel, slight nutty edge. Some toffee sweetness and alcohol bitterness with light spicy notes. Medium body, no carbonation. Quite drinkable.
